Here are the high level goals / sub projects I had in mind when I started Project Phasor. How else can we facilitate the #NeuroAI and #Neuromorophic ecosystems together?

On @chrislhayes.bsky.social, I called on @schumer.senate.gov to support @kaine.senate.gov, @sanders.senate.gov, Rep. Massie & my resolution opposing a war in Iran. This is a defining moment for our party where too many blundered in supporting the Iraq war.
Now we need to be clear — no war in Iran.

That’s how neuromorphs made their first MINT.

In other words:
Plasticity rules like Oja's let us go beyond studying how synaptic plasticity in the brain can _match_ the performance of backprop.
Now, we can study how synaptic plasticity can _beat_ backprop in challenging, but realistic learning scenarios.

This isn’t particularly useful but, well, I hear from a lot of people from the science-centered agencies these days (NIH, NOAA, EPA, couple others) and the degree of, I dunno, grimness (?) is really palpable. The whole gov scientific enterprise is just getting ground into dust. It sucks so hard.
